Investigations conducted by the Voiceless Media and Consult on a contract agreement that was signed between A & Q Consortium Limited and the Northern Development Authority has confirmed that the contract sum was Ten Million Four Hundred Thousand Ghana Cedis.
GHS 10, 400.000.00 and not Five Million Ghana Cedis.
The contract per documents available to the *Voiceless Media was signed on the 28th January, 2020.
The Northern Development Authority was represented by its then Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Alhassan Sulemana Anamzoya and witnessed by Mr Mark B. Imoro.
Mr Andrew K. Kundaari, Managing Director of the A & Q Consortium Limited signed on behalf of his company with Mr. George Akwaah Technical Director of the A & Q Consortium Limited witnessing.
The contract was a consultancy services for the implementation of some Insfrastruture for Poverty Eradication programme (IPEP) in WA.
The A & Q Consortium Limited was choosen after it made a sound case about its expertise, experience, logistics and track record by the NDA.
The Voiceless Media and Consult further checks with the A & Q Consortium Limited revealed that they have never signed any contract of Five Million Ghana Cedis with the NDA and has thererfore challenged those making the allegations to produce the alleged Five Million Ghana Cedis contract agreement.
When the Voiceless Media contacted the former Chief Executive Officer of the NDA on his comments, he declined and directed that the current Management of the NDA should be able to speak on it.
When the current NDA Management were contacted, they said an allegation of a contract for consultancy services changing from Five Million Ghana Cedis to Ten Million Ghana Cedus had come to their attention and investigations were underway.
What the Voiceless Media can say per the contract agreement at its disposal is that the contract sum is indeed Ten Million Four Hundred Thousand Ghana Cedis.
The initial contract sum was about Twenty One Million Three Hundred and Twenty Thounsand Ghana Cedis and it was to cover consultancy services in 41 constituencies in 2019.
It was however reviewed by Dr Alhassan Sulemana Anamzoya when he became Chief Executive officer to the current amount.
The Voiceless Media is conducting further checks and will bring any other development to our esteem readers as this matter is of high public interest.
